Chen Mu did not look over at Ru Qiu. Her grounding in this aspect was far more solid than that of her half-baked teacher. How could someone chosen as the next dean of Siyuan Academy's Card-Making Division possibly lack ability?

A Four-Star Blank Card made from tanned white Snow Maple bark lay submerged in the blue solution.

For a Card Crafter, especially an Advanced Card Maker, perception was far more reliable than instruments or the naked eye.
Right now, for instance, Chen Mu could clearly "observe" the reaction between the blank card and the blue solution through his perception. Blue threads invisible to the naked eye had spread over almost the entire blank card.

Chen Mu let out a small breath of relief. The treatment of this card had been a complete success.
He glanced over to find that
